Verde River

I still don't have a single clue by the way I feel tonight

And I'm more than sure the flowers won't be bloomin'

I pick up dust and I know I must be runnin' far behind

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

I filled my pockets full of its gold

And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'

And a single word could not be heard

Years go by while I pass the time, but I just can't seem to leave

It's hard enough just to keep myself from tryin'

I think of all the people that have gone and passed me by

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

I filled my pockets full of its gold

And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'

And a single word could not be heard

I've seen my fair and freckled face in the water by my side

I'm smilin', but the pain, it still resides

I laugh and cry and grin so wide, you'd think I'd lost my mind

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

By the banks of the yellow Verde River

I filled my pockets full of its gold

And every stone upon the shore was glistenin'

And a single word could not be heard
